Here's lookin' at all you boomers! We grew up being the kids whose parents shared their favorite love story movie, Casablanca, and it remains a classic today. If you come to New York, the Casablanca Hotel will become your favorite classic place to stay in the Big Apple.
Located just off Times Square in the center of all the action and near the theaters, you will be greeted by the friendliest staff in the City. Those of us who travel there frequently know that there are not many free amenities here – well, not so at the Casablanca! Let me tell you what they provide all their guests: free bottled water in your room; free wifi; a complimentary breakfast every morning; complimentary wine and cheese every afternoon from 5-8; coffee, tea fruit and cookies available all day at Rick's Cafe along with complimentary New York Times, Post and Daily News and free health club passes! I know – I almost didn't believe it myself! What a savings when you travel to a city that can stretch your pocketbook. Kudos to the Casablanca.
This oasis in the heart of the hustle and bustle is a 6 story townhouse with Moroccan décor and a cozy fireplace in Rick's Cafe where you will mingle with the other happy guests.
The staff can arrange airport transportation, show tickets, sightseeing, restaurant recommendations and so much more. Plus, they will do it all with a smile.
New York is a place to visit 12 months out of the year – Christmas and New Year speak for themselves. Spring brings everyone out to see the flowers blooming, Broadway openings and street fairs. Summer lets visitors have more room as residents head out to the beaches, and there is nothing more special than Fall in Manhattan when everyone returns to the parties, museum shows, festivals, concerts and great weather. This means that it is always a good time to come and stay at the Casablanca, but you must plan well in advance because the word is out about this gem and there are only 48 rooms in this property. They also offer specials, so check with them when you call or visit their website.
When you're there in warmer weather, be sure and take your breakfast or drinks out to the Blue Parrot courtyard in the middle of the hotel. That's something you never see in the middle of Times Square!
If you're lucky enough to be there on a Friday night having your free wine and cheese in front of the fire at Rick's Cafe, you will also be entertained by someone playing the piano, so here's lookin' at you booking a room at the Casablanca Hotel – unless I beat you to it!
